When Xu Ruxuan heard this, his face was slightly complicated.

After pondering for a long time, he lowered his head and said: "What Niangniang said is extremely true, Fang Cai, it is the lower officials who are not thoughtful and do not take into account the key to the problem. ”

Xu Ruxuan's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, and after lowering his head, there was no more rebuttal words coming out of his mouth.

He looks like this, although Chi Xinian finds it difficult to speak, there is no reason to pester him to continue to teach.

Looking at him deeply, Chi Xinian finally took his eyes off Xu Ruxuan and turned to the study behind the two: "Since we have reached an agreement on the matter of suppressing bandits, then after Zhu Xiaohou comes back from the investigation, we will discuss this matter directly."

"Let's try to solve the problem as soon as possible, so that this palace can return to His Majesty as soon as possible."

"Niang Niang is right, this matter should indeed be resolved quickly." Pei Heng echoed again and again.

When Xu Ruxuan heard this, he didn't say a word, only a trace of indescribable look crossed from the depths of his eyes.

…

"Niangniang, this is the map of the Pingxing Waterway." When everyone arrived, Xu Ruxuan took out the overall waterway map of Pingxing as soon as possible, and spread it out in the middle of the study.

This map is very detailed, whether it is the waterway of the Luojiang River or other rivers, as long as there is a place where water flows, it is recorded on the map.

"This Pingxing waterway looks very complicated...", Zhu Xiaohou frowned and showed a look of embarrassment, "And judging from the places that have been attacked by water bandits... This group of water bandits seems to have been broken into pieces.

"They seem to be divided into a lot of squads, each of which is responsible for a place...

"Under such circumstances, it is almost impossible to effectively suppress bandits."

"You're right." While recording the situation in the booklet in his hand, Chi Xinian analyzed: "For example, this Qixian County and Meng County, the two places are separated by hundreds of miles, but they were attacked by water bandits almost at the same time.

This shows that the bandits are scattering their manpower to commit crimes.

And this dispersion is likely to continue to the present. If we make a rash move, we will catch two or three teams at most, and we will be startled.

"It is almost impossible to hunt them all down, or to capture their leaders, at the moment."

"Then does the queen have a way to solve this problem?" Zhu Xiaohou raised his eyes and cast an inquiring glance at Chi Xinian.

In the face of this situation, he has no way, that is, he doesn't know if this famous young general in Dajing has a way to break the situation?

"Even if they are scattered, it is impossible for them to disappear. In short, no matter how scattered their people are, there will always be someone who hides behind and commands. ”

Chi Xinian said lightly: "Maybe we don't have to deal with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, as long as we catch the one they lead, and the rest will not make much difference whether they are captured or released." ”

Capture the thief and capture the king first, this is her way of thinking.

"But how can you guarantee that you will be able to take down their leader?" Zhu Xiaohou's brows did not loosen because of Chi Xinian's words, but frowned even tighter, "Not to mention that they are hidden very deep now, we can't find them at all."

"Even if we know exactly where each of their teams is, how can we know where the leader is hiding?"

In his opinion, there is no way to find out the whereabouts of the leader, let alone "capture the thief and capture the king first".
